RECCOMMENDATIONS
AND RECCOMMENDATIONS

TITLE END
 As presented in the study, female students
SUMMARY
outnumbered male students significantly. As to
the respondent’s year level, first year students
CONCLUSIONS
comprised the largest group, accounting of all
RECCOMMENDATIONS respondents. Followed by third year students,
and then both second year and fourth year levels
which contained an equal number of students.

TITLE END
 As gleaned from the study under Social Factors, most of the statements are
described unfavorable. As a result, this factor does not affect the career choice
decision of the respondents, which gained unfavorable description. Meanwhile,
Economic Factors, Environmental Factors, Personal Factors, and Academic Ability

described favorable. Specifically, the statement “I consider the financial status of my
family.” from Economic Factors and the statement “I consider the quality of the

than female students. Notable differences also occurred in Personal Factors,
particularly the statement “My choice of school affects my choice of course.”
indicating a more substantial influence on male students, and the statement “My
preferred course is my childhood dream.” indicating a more substantial influence on
female students. However, there are no significant differences in Economic Factors,
Environmental Factors, and Academic Ability Factors.

decision of respondents when group according to their year level, it can be observed
that Economic Factors particularly the statements “I consider my future employment
when choosing my track.”and “I consider my preferred track, for I could already earn
an income while studying.” implying that fourth year students may place more
emphasis on these for having the most excellent mean. However, Social Factors,
Environmental Factors, Personal Factors, and Academic Ability Factors are very
similar across year levels, with no statistically significant changes.
